EVERTON Reserves made it four matches without a victory as Leeds United took a point at Haig Avenue.

With just three minutes on the clock Andy Holden's side took the lead when James McFadden broke and after beating two men crossed for Michael Symes to finish past Scott Carson.

Indeed McFadden, (right), was unlucky not have made it two on 22 minutes when his clever free kick beat all but the crossbar and fortunately for the visitors went out.

Leeds however had a number of opportunities themselves to pull level but a combination of good goal-keeping from Richard Wright and missed chances kept the Blues in front.

Symes should have doubled Everton's lead at the break but a tremendous save from Carson in the Leeds goal denied him.

Daniel Fox came close five minutes after the break only for Kilgallon to clear as his shot looked goal bound but eventually Leeds began to get the measure of the Everton defence, and Wright was helpless to prevent Johnson drawing level after 68 minutes.

Lee Carsley, David Weir and James McFadden all got another run out and Scottish defender Weir, sent off in his last reserve game, nearly won it for Everton late on.
